Sadly, I can only read the small part of your blog that is in English. What I can read, I find interesting. Thank you for signing up to follow my posts. I hope you find them entertaining and informative, and give some representaion of a small town/small city old man in Canada.

I am prof Dr Ahmed Mostafa Kamal, head of Dept of Anatomy in Omar Elmokhtar Faculty of medicine, Libya and the X Head of Dept of Anatomy in Al-Azhar university and the General secretory of the Egyptian Anatomical Society

I am happy for receiving your comments about my books and CDs and from the first of July after finishing my work in Libya, I will be in Cairo and publish my second series of CDs in special Embryology and another series for the Post graduates

My name is Jameel Hijazeen. Last June, I graduated from Mu’tah University School of Medicine, Karak, Jordan. I am the owner of the a blog I think you visited. It is called “The Blog of Mo’bite” (http://www.amanfrommoab.com/). I am also the owner of a YouTube channel at this URL: http://www.YouTube.com/JameelJo. This channel of mine is now very famous because of a thing that I did three years ago (approximately in September 2010).

During my third year of medical school, I gave myself the honor of uploading to YouTube the videos of a doctor who I liked very much: Prof. Ahmad M. Kamal. I did not know anything about Prof. Ahmad except very beautiful anatomy videos of him. Prof. Ahmad’s anatomy videos were great to the degree that I was very amazed that google search and YouTube search didn’t show any information about him. “If Prof. Ahmad is alive,” I thought, “then he should be a very famous person. I should find information about him all over the internet”. The easiest and most logical explanation that I could reach was that Prof. Ahmad produced his videos a long time ago and he didn’t have the chance to publish them on the internet. As a result, he missed the YouTube revolution that could have easily made him very famous. As a result, I put the following description in my Blog and below each video that I uploaded to YouTube:

I hope that you understand that I did all of that because I really wanted others not to have the same difficulty I had with Anatomy. Because I only came to know the videos of Prof. Ahmad only during my third year of medical school, it was then too late for me to re-invest the hundreds of hours I spent studying hard, uninteresting, and very complex anatomy information by simply watching the videos of Prof. Ahmad. I posted back then:

Truly, these were my feelings. I believed so much in how great the videos of Prof. Ahmad are. As a result, I was confident that others will benefit from them. So, I published them on YouTube. How did this came about?

At the beginning, I only had the neuroanatomy series of Prof. Ahamd. So, I searched the internet for the other series of him. After I downloaded all of these series, I discovered that these anatomy videos were published in software that was very student-unfriendly. I remember that the software was boring and it didn’t give the student much options to control the speed of the videos, to forward and rewind them, and most importantly, to simply open a certain lesson with one click. Was there a solution?

Since I was good at computers more than medicine, then I found a way to extract all the videos from each software CD. I found that the videos can then be easily opened using any multimedia program. That was a great improvement. There was a big problem remaining. The videos were numbered. That is to say, they were not named according to their contents. There was a solution. But it was very lengthy. I had to rename all the videos files (+500) in order that each one of them reflected its content. Nonetheless, because I knew that I will be benefiting a lot of people (me in the first place), then I happily did that.

Once I was finished, I found it all to be great. What was the next step? To share the greatness of Prof. Ahmad’s videos with the world! Using my own very “un-fammous” YouTube channel, I uploaded the 500+ videos.

During the next 3 years, the numbers of subscribers and the number of views to my channels gradually started increasing. At the beginning, the increase was gradual. Nonetheless, it accelerated significantly later on. This day, my channel (which mainly contains your videos), has so far 1,018,620 views and has now 2,155 subscribers. I am not mentioning that trying to give a major importance to what I did, but it is mainly to let you understand why I legitimized uploading your videos. At many occasions, I thought of deleting these videos. I thought that Prof. Ahmad will “turn out” to be alive and be angry with what I did. It was so until I found the following rationale by the world-wide known author Paulo Cohelo.(His facebook fans are 11,000,000+). In his beginning writing career, Paulo Cohelo discovered that a novel of him was pirated and posted on the internet. Was he angry? Did he sue those who did that?

Paulo Coelho calls on readers to pirate books
Multimillion-selling author links with Pirate Bay, saying ‘the more people “pirate” a book, the better’

2. The publishing industry will say: Artists can’t survive if they’re not paid.
In 1999, when I was first published in Russia ( with a print- run of 3,000), the country was suffering a severe paper shortage. By chance, I discovered a ‘ pirate’ edition of The Alchemist and posted it on my web page.
An year later, when the crisis was resolved, I sold 10,000 copies of the print edition.
By 2002, I had sold a million copies in Russia, and I have now sold over 12 million.
When I traveled across Russia by train, I met several people who told me that they had first discovered my work through the ‘ pirated’ edition I posted on my website. Nowadays, I run a ‘Pirate Coelho’ website, giving links to any books of mine that are available on P2P sites.
And my sales continue to grow — nearly 140 million copies world wide.

So, after getting to know the above point of view, and because I saw the amount of interaction that these videos had, then I was finally a little bit relieved that I am doing something good (I hope :)).

After you posted your email in my blog, then I searched google for the question of whether I can transfer the ownership of a YouTube channel or YouTube videos. I certainly should move this channel or these videos to your ownership. The answer was definite by Google:

Merge YouTube channels (Transfer data)
Unfortunately, you can’t merge or link separate YouTube channels. Similarly, you can’t transfer data from one channel to another (this includes videos).
However, you can download your videos from your own channel. Once you’ve downloaded your video, you can re-upload it to a different channel. View count and other statistics will start over for the new upload.

So, now, my dear Professor, I don’t know what you want me to do with your videos. Whatever you choose is something I cannot disagree with! If you want me to delete these videos and you to upload them, then this is OK with me. If, on the other hand, you want me to keep the videos on my channel, then I would happily publish a video of yours talking about your videos.

Concerning your facebook, I tried searching for you there using your email but I didn’t get any result. It is probably that you should change the settings of facebook so that it allows others to locate you using your email address.

In another related topic, if you like interacting with all of these students out there who watched Prof. Ahmad and like him (we are at least sure that there are 2,000 of them), then you can open a facebook page in which you can start interacting with students and the students interacting with you. This facebook page would be very great!

It is really an honor to receive this email from you. I wish you all the best in your future plans. Surely, your new teaching material will be of great help to students in all the Arab World.

May I ask for the following: Should I keep the videos published in my channel? Or should I delete them? I need your permission to continue having them published!

Best regards.

Dear Prof. Ahmed,

I hope that my message finds you doing well. I am contacting you to ask for permission whether or not you want me to keep your videos posted on my Channel on YouTube. If you do not want to, then I will immediately delete the 500+ videos.

Otherwise, I feel I cannot continue having them without your permission.

I was hoping to ask you about any offline/download source of the Anatomy videos you made private. They were a great service and it is such a shame that they are no longer there for the good of humanity. Literally, a good that made better medical students.

I understand why you made them private, but surely you can discreetly share them.

I hope you can point me in the right direction in finding these videos once again. I would greatly appreciate it.
